Experimental Design: The independent effects of habitat cover on metapopulation capacity - Methods
Changing the size of habitat patches, without changing the distance
between the habitat patches gives the following relationship between
metapopulation capacity and habitat cover:
The log of metapopulation capacity plotted against habitat cover gives the following results:
Experimental Design: The independent effects of habitat cover on metapopulation capacity - Methods
Scaling the dispersal matrix whilst keeping the habitat area constant
gives the following relationship between metapopulation capacity and
mean distance between habitat patches.
The log of metapopulation capacity plotted against mean distance between patches gives the following results:
